To (all whom may oonomn Be it known 118,151, JOHN Bnmnnns'r, of the city and State of New York, hiwe invent-ed; an improvement in VV'oter-siiosete, of which the following is n specification.

The ln'ipner or basin has been attached to the trap or to the sewer-pipe by flanges and bolts; but these are only adapted to water closets in which the parts are of east-iron. In instances where the wnter-oloset hesin or hopper is nnnlo of porcelain thefinngen and bolts ezninot he used on account of the liability to break the porcelain; but wooden Wedgesheve These are liable become loose in consequence of atmospherie notion. swellingond sln'inleing the some, anti. the pull of the closet, which operates thepnn or valve,

causes more or loss concussion 02* Fihrntion,

and the ports work loose and gases the joints.

My invention is for connecting the porcelain hopper to the sewer pipe or trap, niml for conneetingthe pipes of the traps in such n firm ninl I'elinhle lininner that they nnot heeonio loose by any jet-ring notion to "i, l theelosot may he sni'ziectozi, min when neoessnry the parts can he disconnected avithont being inescape at I make use of conical 'li'a-nges around the tubular portions of the hopper and trap to he connected, nnil I provide ole-1n ps thnt are made nnil the reverse o the flanges, so es lo snoh flanges, and the olztmps are ii-own to 1-21: by bolts, and hence they not to hind ti o mreelnin or, earthen parts together and noose then: to press upon. the pntty or other intorvenine' enal no the 13 ii e loiicle the oint one pyovent one part; iintmovine' noon the other Willi i w n )5 i ieet and. reliable joint, heennL-o the eoniinetl Well as the (JOlliCl "i if s, anti. the clamping-sing nni'roinnls null snnporti the poi'oelnin insteatl of tending to in} to the some,

The hopper or basin a is oi any usnnl or de- SiIQll size or shape, nod it is to he made oi porcelain or other vitriiiell nmteriai, Around the outlet-opening of "the said basin there is an external flange that is thicker at the inner than the outer portion, so as to form it conical rim or flange, b,

The trap c is of on shape, by preference, and may be of metal or poreolnin. its upper end is mode with n conical finng'e, d, similar to the flange 1) When these parts are placed togetl1e1*,pntty or other suitable eement is introiinceol. between the ilnnges, enil'the olalln gs :7 f are plfiflfid lli'ffllllll the lmnges mill iii-own together by the bolts i. These clamps ff are haif'rings of n m'ongh shape seotionnlly,

the hollow portion being inside, so as to sol; around and grasp the conical flanges, and the inclined portions of the clamps, noting upon the inclined portions of the flanges, force the parts together endwise upon the intervening eenlent, nnil at the some time the cement is confined by the ring'elolnips, This, holds the trap hilll basin firmly together mil strengthens the joint, as nihresnih The Hop and the. seweopipe may he similarly eonneete-tl. .l have, however, showi'i the elem; s and nominal flanges pen the posts atthe joint between. the twp o and the rising pipe 5, ihni; nwny smell then: the closet or sewer-pipe.
